Narrative

A nunatak in the upper Taylor Glacier, 8 miles south-west of Beehive Mountain. Near-vertical cliffs of columnar dolerite rise about 152m above glacier level at the east end. Named by the NAE, 1901-04, on their western journey in 1903, because they made a depot there, of food for use on their return journey.
